Thank you for your dedication and hard work. Have a terrific summer broadcasters!

Everyone: For the last day of school, Wednesday, May 25, please report to the computer lab at 8:45 for a last day broadcast. Regular Wednesday team - report to Mr. McGuirk's room at the usual time.

We have not done Lost and Found for quite a while, and it is HUGE again. Perhaps we can announce the number of items on Friday? Something like 1000 hoodies, 1000 jackets, 1000 hats, 100 lunchboxes- what do you think? Someone would have to volunteer to count with me. Mrs. Andras Dear Mrs, Andras I think that would be great if we could do that. Ellie_Callahan789

Thursday's Team: You must do Thursday's, Friday's and Saturday's birthdays. Also announce no school on Friday, March 4th.

Wednesday, February 23, 2011

Bring your lunch to the library for a short meeting. Be there or be square.

Thursday, February 10, 2011

Until further notice, all teams will be preparing for their broadcasts in Mr. McGuirk's room instead of the computer lab.

He has the birthdays and lunch menu.

It would be a very good idea for teams to prepare BEFORE the morning of the broadcasts. There has been many mornings that there is only one rehearsal and it shows on the air.

If you are going to be absent, please call the school to let us know.
